ARCHIMAGE CAPS A BUSY SPRING WITH THE LAUNCH OF FOUR WEB SITES
Military Connections, Relocation Rewards, Raco Interior Products and Go Mortgages move to the Web.
HOUSTON, May 1, 2002 -- Amid the
architecture, graphic design and multimedia projects on its plate, Archimage
created and launched four Web sites this spring. Even with the dot-com bubble
burst and a sluggish economy to boot, Archimage found itself busier than ever
advising its traditional clients about the Internet and delivering online presences
for their companies.
"These four sites represent the variety we see in the types of clients that knock on our door.
Being flexible is a big asset when it comes to Web development projects," says
Jerald Reichstein, Principal at Archimage. "They include pure Internet businesses and
traditional bricks-and-mortar companies that were looking to get online for the first time.
We like to put ourselves in the shoes of our clients. That's what architects do best."
The four projects include:
- Military Connections
Military Connections is a free, registry-based site designed to keep military personnel,
past and present, and their families in touch with one another. Features of this redesigned
site include streaming military news and stories from official military sources, a reunion
center, military friend searching, and information covering VA mortgages and education benefits.
Over 130,000 members have joined the site since inception.
- Relocation Rewards
The Relocation Rewards site was designed around the energetic and colorful artwork of
Barton Stabler. Its simple layout makes it easy to deliver a very simple message to the
site's visitors. That message is: "Earn money when you buy or sell your own home." The
site also delivers valuable content related to buying, selling and financing the home,
as well as tips on making a successful move.
- RACO Interior Products
A long-time Archimage client, RACO Interior Products is the industry leader in the
development and manufacturing of interior aluminum doorframes and windows. Through this site,
architects and commercial building contractors can view the product presentation, use the
load calculators (developed in Authorware) and find RACO product dealers in their areas.
CAD files and product specifications can also be downloaded for use in construction documents.
- Go Mortgages
This database driven site delivers mortgage content for those looking for home loans.
The new design makes use of bold shapes and bright colors to create a pleasing experience
for its customers. A strategic relationship with mortgage giant Cendant and its
InstaMortgage.com channel delivers products and services through a co-branded site where
applications for home loans can be initiated and processed.
